Favorites June 2019

 

One never has to feel alone at the house of my friends in Chicago.

Living on the shelves and nooks of their kitchen are these characters brought to life by the hands of Erick Howenstine as his relaxing past-time in the studio. Each day you could choose your cup to match your mood, or you could have conversation if you needed an ear. Most of them have ears. And eyebrows. Some have teeth.

Or perhaps Erick’s relaxing past-time is to take a nap in his studio and these buddies emerge on their own from clay cocoons like peculiar butterflies, frozen in time with the expressions of the moment. Or maybe they change with time, conversing amongst themselves at night and then freezing in the morning holding the the expression throughout the day until everyone has gone to bed. I only stayed one night and slept very soundly so I’m really not sure. Whatever their story, they are highly entertaining members of the household.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a busy season!

Multiple week-long events have absorbed my life and my time, leaving very little for extravagant deliciousness like resting or writing. There are times when you can push for more, and other times when there is no more push and some tasks have to wait or be scaled back. Thus it’s been a while since I’ve sent out a little post!

But here we are.
